random things I think you think and other stuff

Straight from the ad pages of your favorite magazines, here’s your guide to being a girl in December. Take notes.

1. Stay cozy. Wear a baby.

If you play your cards right, your sensitive, goateed dad/boyfriend/professor will reward you with a pair of socks made out of his extra sweater sleeves.

2. Flaunt your complexity.

Show off all your many dimensions at once. When planning outfits for your holiday soirées, think: “I’m an heiress and an Italian professor at this upscale tropical funeral.”

3. Represent feminine softness in a hard masculine world.

All around you are skyscrapers made of bricks and iron and glass and ouchy things. They’re all pointy and hard. But not you. You’re a soft pink flower in a gentle haze of light. Everything around you is blooming, because you breathed springtime into winter. You’re a superfresh candypants sugarblossom.

I was all fired up, being the entrepreneur that I am, reading about how these big sites made it, but most of them knew someone with money and said ” hey invest a quarter of a million dollars”
Or the person left their ten figure a month salary to start their new web venture then a week later sold shares for 2 billion. (Well that kind of thing.)

It actually made me feel discouraged. Oh apart from mumsnet which was a great story of two mums needing a site with advice from other mums instead of just ‘expert’ advice. Things like where’s a good child friendly hotel and stuff like that. They started with small change and grew it humbly.

Now I need a lighter book. On my list is ‘the shining girls’ Book by Lauren Beukes
The Shining Girls is a novel by South African author Lauren Beukes. The book centers around a time-traveling Depression-era drifter who must murder the “shining girls” in order to continue his travels.

I can never remember what they are called but I got one today -those eye patches you sleep with to block out the light (that u get on the plane)

I am currently in bed trying them out with the light on and it’s not bad!

I tried to take a better picture then I realized that firstly I’m trying to take it with a blindfold on, and secondly, there is simply no way to take an attractive picture wearing my sleeping night eye mask
